Q: What types of people and businesses does Socialwrites serve?
A: Socialwrites serves those who wish to write a book, whether that be a business or an individual. We ghostwrite non-fiction and offer book coaching for both fiction and non-fiction. We also do everything else necessary for your to publish your book including editing, formatting, book cover design, and publishing on Amazon or IngramSpark. You can choose to use us for the entire process if you want, or decide what services you need ala carte style. Either way, we are here to serve you.
Q: Where is Socialwrites located?
A: Socialwrites is located in Treasure Valley, Idaho in Nampa, and we serve the entire Treasure Valley including Nampa, Meridian, Boise, Kuna, Caldwell, Star, Eagle, and Middleton. If you live elsewhere, we also serve anywhere in the U.S. and Canada using Zoom or other virtual platforms.
Q: How long has Socialwrites been in business?
A: Socialwrites started in February 2014, so that makes us 12 years old! We initially served business clients with marketing while doing book editing on the side. We have since pivoted to help self-published authors get their books written, ready for publication, and through the publishing process if that's is what they need.
Q: Is there anything that Socialwrites expressly DOES NOT do at the present time?
A: With the exception of a few clients we are still working with, we have steered away from the digital marketing and no longer offer it. We are now focusing on book projects full-time.
Q: How do you charge for most projects?
A: After a consultation with you, a 750-900 word sample of your book, and the total work count, we can usually accurately quote you a price for the entire publishing process, from editing to publishing. We price everything separately so you can determine what services you want. We also provide an approximate timeline of how long things will be to complete so there's never any doubt on how long things are going to take.
Q: How can I pay Socialwrites for my project?
A: Socialwrites has several different ways to pay including Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp. We can also invoice you through Square. A downloadable invoice can be provided upon request regardless of how you pay.
Q: Do you offer sample edits?
A: Socialwrites offers sample edits as part of the price quote process. We learned the hard way that charging by word count alone doesn't work. Frankly, some people's writing skills are much better than others. By providing a sample edit with your total word count, we can provide a price quote, and, at the same time, you can see our editing process so you can determine whether we're a good fit.
Q: How much will you charge to edit my book?
A: That depends on the size and quality of the book. One thing you should know upfront, however, is that we are not a discount editor. We edit without the use of AI and provide quality work, which takes time, and time equates to money.
Q: Can you help with formatting and self-publishing?
A: Yes, we can. We can create your cover, format and edit your book, and help you self-publish it through Amazon. Keep in mind that this can be a lengthy process and the price will reflect how much time your book is expected to take and is subject to change if necessary.
Q. How long will it take for my completed manuscript to be published.
A. To complete the editing, formatting, cover design, and publishing, it generally takes about two months, but that timeline varies depending of the length of the book and the complexity of the project. When giving you a quote, we prepare a tentative timeline and are also in contact throughout the project so you always know what we're working on, what comes next, and when we'll be completed.
Q: Can you provide references for previous work.
A: We can put you in touch with other authors we've worked with so you can feel completely comfortable with allowing us to take on your writing and publishing project.
